We were so stoked to have near perfect weather for the 4th of July this year. Herron Island was the ideal place to be with the kids and our friends, the Burrows. John and Lori are very close friends of ours from Xfit and they have two super sweet, super high energy boys that decided that they wanted to stay at the island forever. My mom was so sweet and Ted and Stephanie so accommodating to us as we hosted for the weekend. Highlights included the kids dressed in hula skirts for the parade, xfit workouts in the park, the fun run that John took first, Leif took second and I took third in (if you had told me a year ago that my husband would ever beat me running, I would have laughed at you – but, I LOVE IT!). Also, the ease of having Evan (7 years old) in the house to “take care” of the kids. He would get Skyler out of her crib in the morning and even get the kids cereal while the adults slept in (sort of). We had Ted’s tacos at T&S’s house one of the nights, went water skiing, watched the fire works and spent the rest of the time laughing with our friends. What a great weekend!
